The Voice, the final: live

Sally Barker and Tom Jones perform a duet on The Voice UK

19.47 Rosie21 in the comments says...

Quote I loved the Sally Barker song, a lovely mature lady with a beautiful voice, I'd like her to win.

She does indeed.

19.43 Are we going to have a segment where all the coaches perform their new singles with their contestants? Ricky and Christina just showcased the new Kaiser Chiefs track.

19.35It's a good thing Jamie can sing because that dolphin will get him nowhere.

Jamie Johnson giving it his best on The Voice UK

19.33 19-year-old Jamie Johnson took on a tricky song in Missing You (also sung by Tina Turner) there. Luckily that voice held out. "I'm in love with you," declares Kylie.

19.25 He's a devious one is will.i.am. Pulling a stunt by getting Cheryl Cole to ring his futuristic watch phone and wish Jermaine well, no doubt hoping to sway the public vote. I'd suspect it was also a sneaky attempt at product placement had the phone reception not been so terrible.

Jermain Jackman on The Voice UK

19.22 Showing my age here but whenever anyone says "Wrecking Ball" my head still goes to Bruce Springsteen. Every time it's a disappointment. Anyway. Jermain Jackman is singing Miley Cyrus's popular song as the last remaining member of Team Will - who is now stood on his chair.

19.16 "She touched me and she still touches me. And I hope she's touched everyone at home." Oh Sir Tom, you knew full well how that was going to come out.

19.14 Not only is Sally Barker just lovely, she's sending some tingles across the skin with this beautiful Joni Mitchell number Both Sides Now.

19.08 Ricky looks all misty-eyed at Christina's glammed up version of Coldplay's Fix You. I guess we're still not trusted to be able to sit through whole versions of songs despite there only being four contestants left and the show being two hours long.

19.05 The coaches conveniently have one contestant left each. It's Team Ricky up first, with Christina Marie from Bristol.

19.00 And we're off with another collaborative performance of Primal Scream's Rocks from our estemmed coaches. For a moment I thought will.i.am was wearing a harness and might be about to take off but sadly that's just his shirt.

18.45 Good evening and welcome to our live blog of The Voice UK final. Christina Marie, Sally Barker, Jamie Johnson, Jermain Jackman battle it out for the title. The show begins at 7pm, so be sure to come back then for the latest view from the sofa.
